Curry and butternut squash are two of my favorite foods and when I came across a a recipe that combined them in a curried butternut squash naan pizza on The Life & Loves of Grumpy's Honybunch I bookmarked it right away. The pizza was topped with curried roasted butternut squash along with caramelized onions and cheese and it reminded me a lot of the roasted butternut squash and caramelized onion pizza with gorgonzola and crispy fried sage that I enjoy so much. With the thoughts of both of those pizzas dancing in my head I decided to combine them and make a curried roasted butternut squash pizza with caramelized onions and gorgonzola. You really can't go wrong slowly roasting butternut squash into little sweet and tender cubes of melt in your mouth goodness and currying them was a great idea. For the caramelized onion 'sauce' I added some more curry powder along with some common curry ingredients including garlic, ginger and a chopped small green chili for some extra heat. I then topped the pizza with some mozzarella and gorgonzola and I finished it off with a generous helping of cilantro when it came out of the oven. The curried roasted butternut squash pizza with caramelized onions and gorgonzola was amazing! Butternut squash can be nice and sweet and that sweetness went really well with the heat of the curry. The curry flavour also worked well with the butternut squash, the caramelized onions and the creamy and tangy melted gorgonzola took it to a whole new level! Fresh herbs can work well on a pizza and the fresh chopped cilantro was the perfect finish to this pizza.

What an interesting addition with the curry. I would have never thought of pairing it with gorgonzola. Caramelized onions and squash though have long been one of my favorite combinations. The only thing I'm always careful of, like you've done, is to find something to balance out the sweetness.

This is one of those recipes where I wish I had time to savor the art of cooking. My cooking tends to be fly by the seat of my pants and get on the table as quickly as possible. Ideally I would love to have all the time to make my own crust, roast the squash, slowly caramelize the onion. Mmmm, lovely thought. I must make this as soon as I have a bit extra time!

i just made this to take to a dinner party! it almost killed me not to eat it all before i got there. i added some sundried tomatoes on top for some more colour and it was dynamite. it's safe to say i'm addicted to your blog :)

This is very similar to a pizza I make quite often, the only changes being that when I roast the Butternut Squash is that I also add a little balsamic vinegar to the roasting pan. This helps the onions and squash caramelise beautifully. I have also in the past roasted different vegetables to go on the pizza... things like new asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini or eggplant. Thanks for sharing!
